WildBlue Communications Satellite Internet Services have been around for quite a while. For those living in a rural area like where Mullins Farms is located, WildBlue is one of only a handful of options we have for internet access & TV.

Here’s a brief summary of what you get with the WILDBLUE PRO PLUS $49.99:

– Wildblue is available pretty much everywhere throughout the United States.
– Technical support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Customer Care: 1-866-WildBlue (945-3258) (toll free).
– You must sign a 24 month contract. If you cancel early, there is a fee of $15.00 per month for each month left on your contract.
– 1.5 Mbps Download speed
– Ability to download 17,000 MB per month
– 256 Kbps upload speed
– Ability to upload 5,000 MB per month
– Free standard installation
– One-time shipping and handling fee for equipment in the amount of $24.95
– 2 options for equipment lease fees: Prepay $99.95 and save over $40 or pay $5.95 per month.

Other Items of Note:

– You will need a clear view of the southern sky to receive a signal from the WildBlue satellite.
– Service can be slower during rain or snow and sometimes you will get no service at all.
– If you go over your 17,000 MB before the end of your billing cycle they may shut off your service completely or make it super slow.
– WildBlue does not support VOIP or Gaming online.

At his time I cannot recommend Wildblue Communications Satellite Internet Services; however, they have launched a new service called Exede by Viasat. While it’s not perfect, it’s probably the best Satellite Internet Service available at this time.
